Ancestor:Descendants:

The zeploon cloudswarmer split from its ancestor. They now feed on the barnibarb. Their wings have barbs on the ends of them, allowing them to grip on to the zeploon. Their colorings have changed to blend with the zeploon's skin, camouflaging them from tropsnapper. When they exhaust the supply of barnibarbs on a single zeploon, they can fly to another one. They still use the clouds as carriers of reproductive material, but they now lay their sticky-eggs on the leaves of zeploon.
